ALSO:
* When you were looking for a ZR-1, did you want a bone stock Z or one that was already modded?
* If you bought a bone stock Z, did you end up modding it?


I went through a phase in my life when I modified (mod) as many aspects of my cars that I thought would be "cool". The point back then was to personalize more than optimize or improve reliability or or or....
I made changes that I later regretted (for various reasons).
Since that time I've changed a bit. Rather than put the latest "cool" looking stuff on the car like pin stripes or dice hanging from the mirror or the now popular lights under the car, I focus on enhancing existing systems. To that end I've modified:
1. exhaust
2. secondary actuator system
3. underhood engine lamps
4. shifter
5. suspension bushings
6. radiator stack
7. AC system
8. ZF6
9. fuel pump assembly
10. LTPWS sensors
11. ECM chip
12. battery access fender
13. Bose system mod
14. Wheel polishing
15. injectors
16. thermostat
17. air intake filter housing
18. Fog lamps

Here is what I refuse to do, it's too scary for me but I'm ok that others do it because of snow or other geographic and/or terrain issue. I just hope the disease does not trash too many of our cars


I'd like to think the ZR-1 will continue after us and not end up like:

so that they don't end up here:
